Local far-right extremists were wartime target, Seaton talk hears
A fascinating talk held by the Axe Valley Heritage Association yesterday, which I popped into in between campaigning, heard WWII expert Andrew Chatterton describe the secret auxiliary forces set up in 1940 to attack German forces in the event of an invasion in Devon. Locally, a unit based in Branscombe was one of the most active, and its targets included prominent British Union of Fascists members Lucy and Rafe Cotton, who were expected to become collaborators.
A thought-provoking presentation at a time when would-be far-right dictators and their British fans are once again on the agenda.
